Excursion to the Pamir mountains, Tajikistan

August - September 2001

Field work in the central Pamir mountains near the Yashilkul Lake and the Gurumdi valley. Unforgetable event as we were traveling along the Afghan border on September 11th where numerous Russion tanks went down to the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan...
